What is going on with DSS directv in canada?

I've heard alot of rumors, anyone know the facts??!???!!!

as far as i know it is illegal in canada as of sometime in the summer of 2002

however they won't be cracking down on the individual's who own/use the directtv satellites, just the people who are selling them
the whole 15 minutes of fame this topic had in the papers has long past and i haven't really seen/heard anything done about it...

that's good news for me, i enjoy my free satellite

It is illegal but they wont be cracking down on home users? Good enough for me

I was actually told by an rcmp officer (friend's brother) to scrape the directv logo off my dish. apparently, if they see the logo on ur dish they come search ur house for a hu/p4 card & loader. and if u get cought with a loader, it's a $500 fine.

Just go down to the states buy one... You might stil be able to find the receiver and dishs up here but I guess thats gonne be tougher, if not there is always ebay.
